The village is located on a slope of a hill covered with pinetrees. Its name was derived from the Greek ("ellinika") ships which anchored at the beach before the naval battle of Artemisio.Its beautiful beach is a real jewel and offers protection for small boats, with pine trees along the sea. Opposite the beach, there is a small island with the church of St. Nikolaos. Swimming to the island is an opportunity to enjoy a workout.A passable dirt road leads from the village to a less cosmopolitan but neverthless extraordinary pebbly beach called Mavrikas. You will find small taverns, restaurants and ouzeris on the beach as well as in the village. There are also hotels, rooms to let and fully furnished studios.
